Description
TECHNICAL FIELDThe present invention relates to a glass for a display substrate, particularly a float glass which is preferred as a glass for a plasma display panel (hereinafter referred to as PDP) substrate and a method for producing the float glass.BACKGROUND ARTHeretofore, PDP is generally produced by firing metal electrodes, an insulating paste, a rib paste, etc. on a substrate glass at a temperature of from about 550 to 600° C., followed by frit sealing opposed plates and its vicinity. Heretofore, in general soda lime silica glass which is widely used for buildings and automobiles has been used as a glass for a PDP substrate.However, since the glass transition temperature of the soda lime silica glass is from 530 to 560° C., if the glass is heat-treated at the above firing temperature, the substrate glass deforms or shrinks, and the dimension remarkably changes. Therefore, it has been desired to realize positioning opposed plates and electrodes accurately. Particularly, in a ca...
